Mommy，We Got a Husband by Doris

Chapter 428 Who Could Have Called Him?

"I mean it, I'm not messin' with you," Alaric said, dead serious. "Harry, you've got this gift, so why not use it? I wanna know about Tommy's past and all that jazz. If you can dig it up for me, I'd owe you big time." Harry was hesitant. "Dad, are you for real?" Alaric's face was all business, but was this even legit?

"Dad, isn't this like, illegal? We can't do this," Elisa said, all worried.

"This ain't illegal; we're just serving some justice. We're nabbing the bad guys, just using a different playbook," Alaric tried to convince them. "We're the good guys here, just with a twist." The kids exchanged uneasy glances, feeling their moral compass spin.

'You grown-ups are so good at twisting things, always double-talking,' Harry said, still uneasy. "Dad, you're not gonna make me do this and then throw me under the bus, right?"

"Come on, I'm not that heartless. You're my kid," Alaric pressed. "So, you in or not? Your mom's almost done with her bath."

"Alright, I'll be the hero, busting bad guys and all. I'll start tomorrow night," Harry decided.

"Fine, but don't let it mess with your schoolwork, and keep it on the down-low from your mom. And seriously, don't push it. You're still kids, even if you're smart. Leave the heavy lifting to us adults, got it?" Alaric advised. "Got it, Dad. We'll run everything by you first, no solo missions," Caspian said, looking down.

"Same here," Harry added.
